8 Regional Vision A Connected and Integrated System that: Provides convenient and accessible options Balances all interests Is inclusive of all community members needs Is safe Builds from a sustainable plan 8

9 Ojai Valley Complete streets Safety Intercity connections Small scale, tailored transit Access to basic services: seniors and youth Agency coordination Ventura Multi-modal connectivity Transit capacity and frequency Bicycle infrastructure Integrated planning Oxnard/Harbor/ Port Hueneme Expanded, flexible system Safety: roads and transit Workforce mobility Local roads and congestion Public awareness Partnerships and incentives Santa Clara River Valley SR 126 and roadway safety Intercity transit Integrated planning Local character Emergency access Camarillo Intermodal connectivity Sustainable and creative Expanded, efficient and flexible options System safety Economic development Tourism Local Priorities Moorpark/Simi Valley System efficiency Safety: bottlenecks and intersections Public awareness Transit: education and services Bicycle network Conejo Valley Local congestion Transit: schools Local character Integrated planning Public awareness

10 Countywide Themes Transportation connections within and outside of the county Transit: capacity, frequency and connections Safety: highways, roadways, bicycle and pedestrian Local roads: complete streets, maintenance Planning for growth Strategic, needs-based planning and funding 10

11 CTP Framework and Plan Development Executive Summary I. Introduction II. State of the System III. Challenges for the Future IV. Solutions for the Ventura County Region V. Financial Plan, Scenarios and Options VI. Plan Performance, Implementation and Monitoring 11

12 Local Streets and Roads - Themes Local decisions for spending Maintenance standards and accountability Multi-use ( complete ) streets 12

13 Local Streets and Roads - Plans Total 30-year need = $2.2B Constrained Plan (current funding) = $1.1B Remain a jurisdictional issue Managed decline continues Supplemental Revenue Source Plan Provides additional revenue (dependent upon source) to local jurisdictions Provisional on agreements to improve or maintain existing condition levels May be used to add functionality, bike lanes, pedestrian amenities 13

14 Transit - Themes Bus Transit Organizational enhancements: fixedroute and paratransit Service priorities: connecting cities and destinations Rail Transit Metrolink Intra-county service 14

15 Transit - Plans Total 30-year need = Dependent upon service levels and organizational structure (currently under study) Constrained Plan (current funding) = $2.248B Implement findings of organizational study Sustains current levels of bus and Metrolink service Supplemental Revenue Source Plan Provides additional revenue (dependent upon source) Conditioned on greater frequency and connectivity Supplements inter-city service Enhances Metrolink service 15

16 Arterials - Themes Connectivity Operational safety Top 10 intersections 16

17 Arterials - Plans Total 30-year need = unknown conditions Constrained Plan (current funding) Remain a jurisdictional issue Managed decline continues Supplemental Revenue Source Plan Provides additional revenue (dependent upon source) to local jurisdictions Provisional on agreements to identify top 10 intersections in need Enhances operational safety and connectivity 17

18 Highways/Freeways - Themes U.S. 101: peak period capacity HOV/HOT lane SR 23 interchange SR 118: bottlenecks and safety SR 126: safety US 101/SR 126 connector: efficiency 18

19 Highways/Freeways - Plans Total 30-year need (US 101 & SR 118) = $1.2B Constrained Plan (current funding) = $657M Continue allocation of Federal funds as available Address timing of improvements: SR 118 vs. US 101 Supplemental Revenue Source Plan Provides additional revenue (dependent upon source) US 101: Add HOV lane from LA Co. line to SR 33 SR 126: Improve safety and operations 19

20 Bicycle and Pedestrian - Themes Regional connectivity Linkage to local road program to support Complete Streets 20

21 Bicycle and Pedestrian - Plans Constrained Plan (current funding) = $230M Continue competitive process for allocating State and Federal funds Realign funding criteria: emphasize connectivity and safety Supplemental Revenue Source Plan Provides additional revenue (dependent upon source) to local jurisdictions Competitive process conditioned on: Connectivity Enhanced bicycle and pedestrian features 21

22 Environmental and Mitigation Programs Themes Open space preservation to mitigate transportation improvements Trails program Restoration, acquisition and management Urban runoff SB375/AB32 land use and mobility incentives Other strategies 22

23 Environmental and Mitigation Programs - Plans Applies only to supplemental revenue source Supplemental Revenue Source Plan Provides new revenue (dependent upon source) Creates or supports open space preservation projects: Trails program Open space restoration, acquisition and management Urban runoff treatment Land use and mobility incentives 23

24 Additional Strategies and Solutions Freight Movement Regional Freight Movement Local Port Access Transportation System Management Transportation Demand Management 24

25 Funding the Plan: Scenarios for Bridging the Gap

26 Funding Options: Gas Tax Generates funding for local road improvements $0.10/gallon to generate equivalent to Measure funding As fuel efficiency increases, proceeds decrease Increases the costs of driving and public transportation 26

27 Funding Options: Tolling and/or Express Lane Corridor-specific Should provide adequate funding for capital improvement, operations and maintenance to US 101 corridor Use of proceeds generally restricted to corridor improvements Funding proceeds vary from toll levels and use Requires addressing perceptions of inequities and double taxation 27

28 Funding Options: Vehicle Registration Fee Annual fee on registered vehicles in the county Existing vehicle fees fund Highway Patrol, DMV, air pollution control programs, and local needs Provides a flexible funding source Generates approximately $8M per year 28

29 Funding Options: Countywide Sales Tax Measure Countywide half-cent addition to existing statewide sales tax (7.25%) Provides local, flexible source of funds dedicated to transportation improvements Determine investments locally Support leveraging of federal funds Facilitate earlier delivery of projects Requires a 66.7% vote in support Generates an estimated $2.1B over 30 years Approaches funding requirements but does not fully fund needs 29
